This medication can cause a serious lung condition called interstitial pneumonia, so if you experience fever, cough, shortness of breath, unusual sounds from the lungs, or abnormalities found in chest X-ray tests while taking it, you should stop taking the medication immediately and consult a specialist. Patients taking interferon preparations or those with cirrhosis, liver cancer, or very low platelet counts due to chronic hepatitis should not take this medication. Additionally, people with lactose intolerance or specific genetic metabolic disorders should not take this medication. This medication can be dangerous when taken together with interferon preparations, so it should not be taken at the same time.

If symptoms such as swelling of the face or extremities, increased blood pressure, muscle weakness or pain, indigestion, liver function abnormalities, skin rashes, or urinary disorders occur while taking the medication, you should stop taking it immediately and consult a specialist. Moreover, if symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for more than one month, it is advisable to stop taking it and seek consultation. This medication should not be taken for an extended period, and the prescribed dosage and frequency must be adhered to. When administering to children, supervision by a guardian is required. Caution should be taken when taking medications containing potassium, those with licorice components, or certain diuretics, as the risk of side effects may increase. When taking this medication with other herbal medicines, care should be taken not to duplicate ingredients, and patients with chronic hepatitis should closely monitor changes in platelet counts. When storing the medication, keep it in a tightly sealed container to avoid exposure to air or moisture, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, out of reach of children.
